ASRock X570 Taichi OC Review
WEB: ASRock MSRP: US $299.99 | AUTHOR: Neo
Here we are with the ASRock X570 Taichi, just over a full month after the launch of AMD’s 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs and the matching X570 chipset. Truth be told, it definitely feels like it’s been much longer than a month. As we’ve come to expect with AMD platform launches, plenty of updates coming in fast. Each successive update bringing stability and compatibility improvements. This latest entry in the ASRock X570 Taichi is easily my favorite X570 motherboard thus far. As such, we decided this would be a great candidate for an OC review.

Now that the dust has settled somewhat with the launch of the X570 and AMD’s 3000 series CPUs, it’s time to look at one of the most interesting entries in the X570 line up.
